Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.Abstract As people age, there is a natural decline in cognitive functioning and brain structure. However, the relationship between brain function and cognition in older adults is neither straightforward nor uniform. Instead, it is complex, influenced by multiple factors, and can vary considerably from one person to another.

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.Abstract Recent studies suggest that learners who are asked to predict the outcome of an event learn more than learners who are asked to evaluate it retrospectively or not at all. One possible explanation for this “prediction boost” is that it helps learners engage metacognitive reasoning skills that may not be spontaneously leveraged, especially for ...

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.Abstract This study investigates the role of locality (a task/material‐related variable), demographic factors (age, education, and sex), cognitive capacities (verbal working memory [WM], verbal short‐term memory [STM], speed of processing [SOP], and inhibition), and morphosyntactic category (time reference and grammatical aspect) in verb‐related ...

Empirical Correlates of Event Types - A priming study [PDF]
Event types have been widely addressed in linguistics literature, but have received little attention in psycholinguitics, neurolinguistics and computational linguistics research.

Individual differences in adult second language learning: a cognitive perspective [PDF]
, 2011 What makes some people more successful language learners than others? Scholars and practitioners of adult second language learning traditionally have cast the issue of individual differences in terms of such constructs as aptitude, motivation, learning ...

Play in Cognitive Development: From Rational Constructivism to Predictive Processing
Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.Abstract It is widely believed that play and curiosity are key ingredients as children develop models of the world. There is also an emerging consensus that children are Bayesian learners who combine their structured prior beliefs with estimations of the likelihood of new evidence to infer the most probable model of the world.

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.Abstract Past research suggests that Working Memory plays a role in determining relative clause attachment bias. Disambiguation preferences may further depend on Processing Speed and explicit memory demands in linguistic tasks. Given that Working Memory and Processing Speed decline with age, older adults offer a way of investigating the factors ...

Personalized Model‐Driven Interventions for Decisions From Experience
Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.Abstract Cognitive models that represent individuals provide many benefits for understanding the full range of human behavior. One way in which individual differences emerge is through differences in knowledge. In dynamic situations, where decisions are made from experience, models built upon a theory of experiential choice (instance‐based learning ...

Prediction and production of simple mathematical equations [PDF]
An important issue in current psycholinguistics is the relationship between the production and comprehension systems. It has been argued that these systems are tightly linked, and that, in particular, listeners use the speech production system to predict

Team Cognition Research Is Transforming Cognitive Science
Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.Abstract About 30 years ago, the Dynamical Hypothesis instigated a variety of insights and transformations in cognitive science. One of them was the simple observation that, quite unlike trial‐based tasks in a laboratory, natural ecologically valid behaviors almost never have context‐free starting points.
